Makes sense. See a couple of initial comments below.

I have a feeling that some common machinery could be pulled from the 
llvm-include-order check which could benefit this check as well. I'll try to 
come up with a specific idea later.

I'm not a native speaker, but I have a feeling that "duplicate" is a more 
suitable word here than "redundant". WDYT?

This description is somewhat confusing. Maybe something along the lines of 
"Only consecutive #include directives without any other preprocessor directives 
between them are analyzed"?
